چکیده
Recently, the use of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) has received considerable attention in school settings. However, limited empirical evidence supports the utility and effectiveness of SFBT with at-risk students. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact of SFBT with a group of at-risk students in a junior high school. A total of 26 students participated in eight group sessions of SFBT in a junior high school located in central Ohio. Compared with pretreatment assessments, students participating in SFBT had higher scores on behavioral and social scales at posttreatment and at six-week follow-up. This fmding was also uncovered on the external assessments completed by parents and teachers. Implications for school social workers and the treatment of at-risk populations in school settings are discussed.
